Jermaine Jenas slams 2 Liverpool players in Bournemouth defeat

Jermaine Jenas criticized Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate in their 1-0 defeat by Bournemouth.

The pair were blasted by the former Tottenham Hotspur man and other members of the Reds’ defense for the avoidable goal they conceded, giving Phillip Billing a relatively direct strike.

Now Jermaine Jenas has both Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate on target as Liverpool lost to Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.

Steve McManaman also plotted his former club for a ‘false dawn’ after their overwhelming win over Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United.

While many expected Jurgen Klopp and company would use their amazing win at Anfield as a stepping stone to bigger and better things, that simply wasn’t the case as they suffered another bad day at the office.

“The sharpness isn’t there defensively, especially from the two centre-backs for Liverpool,” he said, as quoted by BBC Sport.

It’s impossible to disagree with Jermaine Jenas

For Phillip Billing’s goal, the Dutch skipper seemed to have given up chasing to prevent the cross from being delivered, while his partner could have done better to prevent the delivery from being placed right in front of the match winner.

With that in mind, Jermaine Jenas is right when he criticizes both Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate for their performances against Bournemouth.

The pair were constantly being dragged much further forward than they should have been and while that may be due to the team’s highline, their individual performance makes it difficult to defend either defender.
